I really do like my N810 and enjoy trying to make it a bit more useful and slicker looking by various applications/mods.

Below are just some of mine that might be a bit harder to find unless you know what you are looking for (maybe they are not in Extras, not that well known, etc, etc). If you got others please do post

1) Autoscan
This is in Extras and the only reason for bringing it up here is because penetration/network testing might not be the first thing you think of when using your OS2008 device (N8x0).



Autoscan is a VERY easy to use network scanner that with a few clicks will tell you exactly who is on the same network that you are connected to. It can be used simply for 'fun' at your local coffee shop..or for more serious investigations should you for any reason have an unsecured (don't!) network at home.

(There are a number of other tools you can use as well nmap, telnet, etc, etc - but for the casual user this is relatively easy and quick way to get into pentesting using your NIT.


2) DragLock
One of the most frustrating things on the OS2008 was the lack of being able to keep the widgets in place by locking them down.
This simple little app fixes that and gives you a 'lock' and 'unlock' option for your desktop widgets.


Easy instructions on how to install DragLock here

Note: There is a bug-fix/patch for this, I believe, in a future SSU update but for now this is still the solution for me.

3) HeadPhoned
Ever been listening to music/podcasts and had your headphone pulled out of the device causing you to accidentally share what you are listening to with others?
This simple app pauses the media player(s) when that happens.
Once again, brilliant.

4) openNTPD
Is your clock in your NIT off?
Install openNTPD, forget it - and your clock will always be accurate.

5) SlideLock
So simple, yet so brilliant.
This is a small patch/app you install that will lock your N810 screen when you close the keyboard.
Note that the screen does, by default, lock if you have not pressed any key since you opened the keyboard - this patch locks the screen even if you have used the keyboard. Works flawlessly.

6) Telescope
Application switching never looked so slick before on OS2008.
This wonder of programming is fast, looks good and still being updated with more features. Check it out and I bet you won't be disappointed.


It's in Extras (or Extras-Devel?) but link to discussion thread with photos and videos is here.

7) YellowNotes
Maybe the most useful app on my N810.
A stack of post-its on my desktop.
Why this was never promoted to Extras I will never know.
Priceless app.

8) GFrotz
Play your old (and new) text adventures on your NIT.
Works flawlessly!
